Also over at the RPG Vault this evening is a developer diary written by BioWare's David Gaider regarding their upcoming RPG, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Here's a bit on character creation:

Your first choice has you selecting one of six base class and gender templates. You can choose to be a male or female Soldier, Scout or Scoundrel. These are classes straight from the d20 Star Wars rules, making your character more combat-oriented (the Soldier), more stealth- and skills-oriented (the Scoundrel) or a mix of the two (the Scout). The story requires that you start your character progression in one of these three classes, and later have the opportunity to multi-class into one of three Jedi classes, the Jedi Guardian, Jedi Sentinel or Jedi Consular. Each provides its own variation on the types of feats and skills provided, your strength and resistances, your combat utility and best of all your Force powers (which also break down into the light and dark variety... but that's something you'll learn and deal with later).

In related news, BioWare has updated their site with word that they will be holding a chat at the RPG Vault on December the 5th, where you will get a chance to ask some of the developers questions. So be sure to mark your calendars!
